So, you do admit that that kind of bullet fired from that kind of Carcano was shown in the PBS NOVA special "Cold Case JFK" to have a tendency to start "yawing" (i.e., "tumbling") upon exiting something soft -- like a block of ballistics gel or a human neck.
Good!
You're making progress!
Because earlier on this "thread" you were denying it.
Nutters in full flow.
As I've explained elsewhere, there is zero difference between the Nutter and Tinfoil mentalities.
You were asked to explain how a yawing bullet could've created such a small hole in the back of Connally's shirt.
You can't do that so you're talking sh!t.
As all extreme mentalities do, you have painted yourself into a corner, just as John has done, and because you can't be honest with the evidence, because you can't be honest with yourself, you are left with no option other than to post nonsensical Replys like the one above.
And, like all extreme mentalities, you forget that the forum is a written record. You forget that your nonsense is now on the record for all to see.
As I've demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt (the key word being "reasonable") there was no yawing, tumbling or twirling bullet.
CE399 had nothing to do with the actual shooting.
This was why the first four men in the so-called "chain of custody" - Tomlinson, Wright, Johnsen, Howley - all refused to identify it as the bullet they handled that day.
Wright categorically denied CE399 was the bullet he saw that day to Josiah Thompson and others.
It's why not a single one of these men was asked to identify the bullet before the Warren Commission.
It flies under the Nutter radar that not a single person verified CE399 as the bullet that was found at Parkland before it was entered into evidence as the bullet found at Parkland hospital.
All of this is perfectly acceptable to the Nutter mentality.
As Tom has shown, the idea of a tumbling bullet was introduced to maintain the lie that CE399 was involved in the shooting.
The physical evidence available refutes this theory.
A tumbling bullet could not have made such a small hole in the back of JBC's shirt or the front of his jacket.
The mental gymnastics being employed by the various Nutters on this thread is a result of this hard evidence.
The bullet in question shattered on contact with JBC's wrist bone, one of the largest and most dense bones in the human body.
As Tom has already explained, if a bullet can fragment striking "near" the EOP, then it can fragment on the wrist bone.
A small piece blew threw JBC's wrist and exited through the small slit-like wound on the palm side of his wrist.
The larger fragment entered his leg.
This is why fragments of metal are found spread throughout the wrist wound and not just in one, concentrated area.
It's why the x-ray of the wrist wound shows no trace of a bullet passing through the bone.
The larger fragment fell from JBC as he was being moved from his stretcher to the examining table at Parkland. It was retrieved by a nurse who eventually gave it to Texas Highway Patrolman Nolan.
No evidence exists that CE399 was the bullet found at Parkland.
No evidence exists that the bullet which passed through JFK and JBC tumbled.
All of this is perfectly acceptable to the Nutter mentality.
